I co-facilitate an on-going multi-disciplinary Asperger Syndrome clinical
study group with a licensed clinical social worker colleague. We are developing
new services and best counseling practices while working with Asperger Syndrome
adolescents, adults and their families. To the best of our knowledge, this
group, started in January 2001, is the only group of its kind, anywhere,
that meets on a regular, scheduled basis to combine the talents of professionals
from many counseling and consulting disciplines with an exclusive focus on
Asperger Syndrome. There is no charge for counseling professionals and advanced
counseling students to attend the group.

I conduct Asperger Syndrome in-service trainings for disabled students
counselors in the Portland metropolitan community colleges and four-year
colleges and universities. Presentations to other audiences include trainings
in person-centered planning techniques for youth and adults with developmental
disabilities, development and maintenance of self-directed support groups,
facilitation of group work with committed adult couples in AS partnerships, and
diagnostic and counseling issues for individuals with high functioning autism
and Asperger Syndrome. I have been a regular presenter at the Oregon Health
Science University sponsored "Celebrate Wellness," conducting workshops on
self-directed case management, discovery and use of natural and community
supports to further independent living, and finding the best personal counselors
and advisors for adults with disabilities.
